A WORD TO C'OKftl'MPTIVBS.
As it has been my duty to adviso with Inva
lids, Rivinjr them Instructions in regard to tbe
care they should take of themselves, and where
their winters should be opont, I used to make
regular professional visits to the different lead
ing cities, because it gave mo more complote
control of my patients. When I had opportu
nities of examining them, and found that their
lungs were not so fur gono as to bo beyond the
reach of healing, I at once advised them to go
home and stay In tholr rooms, kcoping the tem
perature at from Go to 70 degrees, and to exer
cise as much as they could within the limits of
the room, in order that tho free circulation of
the blood might be kept up; and to take
Schcnck's Pulmonic Syrup, Seaweed Tonic and
Mandrake Tills. By implicitly following these
directions hundreds have boon saved, who, un
der almost any other circumstances, would have
died a lingering doath.
Tho ordinary method of treating consump
tives is to advise them to go ot:t into the fresh
air. This generally pleases them, because tho
fresh air affords them temporary relief. But a
reaction ensues, and tho almost inevitable result
is, that they are continually taking little colds,
which are scarcely perceptible at first, but
which, in the end, prevent the healing of tho
diseased lungs.
As I have resolved to discontinue my profes
sional visits to other cities, I paid a visit to
Florida, for tho purpose of ascertaining whether
that region would not prove boneflcial to inva
lids, and tho conclusions at which 1 have arrived
nre these: Tho climate of Florida is admi
rably suited to consumptives. It Is of an equable
temperature, so that invalids can exercise in the
open air without subjecting themselves to tho
danger of taking cold. The liver of a man of
sedentary habits generally bocomes torpid or
active, hence exercise Is absolutely essential
him. If he is of consumptive habits, this
crclse cannot be safely taken in our change-
lo Northern climate, and hence the advantage
going to Florida.
I saw hundreds of consumptives there, many
( them in a rnpldly improving condition. They
will get well if they persevere in the courie
hey are pursuing. They had the advantage of
pen exercise in connection with tho proper
medical remedies. The majority of them are
aking my medicines, and arc carrying out fully
be Idea I have been endeavoring to impress on
the public mind, and that is the frco use of the
Mandrake Pills.
The stomach of a consumptive patient, the
liver and the bowels, are almost invariably in a
dull or inactive condition. The stomach does
not crave food, and if it did eould not digest it.
It has not the power to convert it into good
health v blood, without which a cure of con
sumption Is impossible. To make good blood Is
the office of food.
If the stomach and liver are In order then
digestion proceeds naturally, and of course with
advantage lo the patient. Ho grows In flesh,
and consequently in strength, and as a natural
sequence the lungs heal rapidly. Now all this
is readily accomplished by the judicious use of
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Mandrake Pills, and
Seaweed Tonic. They should be taken together
for the following excellent reasons: The Pul
monic Syrup assists in ripening tho impure
matter in the lungs, and good blood takes its
place; the Seaweed Tonic prevents the food
from souring on the stomach, stimulates the
coats of the stomach and assUts digestion; the
Mandrake Pills act on the liver, exciting it to
vigorous action, causing a healthy secretion of
bile and carrying off the morbid indigestible
matter.
In my opinion Florida is the place for con
sumptives, though there are some portions of it
to be preferred to others, for the following
reasons: Jacksonville is a desirable place in
many respects, but it has the disadvantage o
being located directly on the St. John's river,
where heavy fogs and dews are frequent, and
where, at times, fover and ague and chills pre
vail, which are certainly anything elso than
beneficial to consumptives. St. Augustine has
few advantages which cannot be found at home
hero in the North. It is a bleak place, located
near the ocean; one day the atmosphere is
oppressive, the next an overcoat becomes neces
sary. At Palatka patients do well. I have a
great many there, all appearing to have good
appotitos, and gaining flesh and strength. Many
of them would, to the casual observer, appear to
have no - lung disoose, but appearances are
deceptive. Rapid walking or the ascending of
stairs would bring on coughing spoils so violent
as to astonish those not familiar with all tbe
facts in their cases. But for these coughs they
would, from their healthy appearance, be taken
for perfoctly sound persons.
I examined the lungs of a great number, and
was amazed to find how seriously many of them
had been diseased; but were healing nicely.
But Palntka Is not the most desirable place in
Florida for consumptives, at least such is my
opinion. There is too much low, wet land in
the vicinity. My own candid impressions are
that Enterprise and Melonville are the best loca
tions for invalids. The climate Is not variable,
and appears to be somewhat warmer than other
locations visited by me. At Enterprise there is
& large and very fine boarding-house and hotel,
known as tho Brock Ilouse; its only fault bclnic
its location on the banks of Lake Monroo, which
causes heavy dews at tiroes.
Decidedly the best place in Florida for con
sumptlves is at Major Marks' hotel, two miles
from Melonville, and about the same distance
from the lake, right among the pines. Tbe
house Is large and the table splendid, which is
saying a good deal for Florida. I have come to
the conclusion to recommend this spot to my
patients, after having visited and carefully ex
aminlng nearly all the places to which invalids
are usually recommended. Those who desire
to know more of Major Marks' hotel can obtain
the necessary information by directing
letter to him at Melonville, Orange county,
Florida.
I do not desire to be understood as saying
tha these are the enly desirable plrs in
Florida for invalids. They are by all oddi the
localities I visited, and for this reason
confidently recommend them.

From Our Own OUrrenxmOml.
Nkw Tore, March 4, 1870.
The Md'ai-Und Irtni.
Across tho genoral public mind the question
occasionally floats like a blossom borne by tho
breeze What has become of McFarland t
Mr. McFarlaad resides in the Tombs has re
sided there evor since the celebrated homicide
which ho got off last Novembor. There he Is
treated with tho rospect and kindness which tho
unselfishness and discretion of Mrs. McFarlnnd
and the lato Mr. Richardson so woll deserve.
Ho is supplied with .books and papers by malo
and female sympathizers, and rocoives on the
average six feminine calls a day. Ho has indeed
grown very accomplished in tho art of receiv
ing and the companion-art of small talk. Ills
precipitancy In the Richardson affair has largely
interested In him numerous bo' les of women
who have no better work to do than to express
maudlin sympathy. Possibly his trial may begin
two wocks from next Monday. Tho chances
are, however, that it will not commence until
April. Europe as well as tbe United States is
to be rummaged for testimony. No trial within
averago recollection has brought to light more
breezy details than this one will bring to light.
Tho press; tho pulpit, and tho ' At.tgo all bear a
hand in it. If tho foot-lights .have not In a
strictly biblical sense been a lamp to Mrs.
McFaKaud's feet and a light to her path, they
havo done no worse for bcr than the pulpit and
the press have managed to do between them.
Mr. McFarland is represented as "cheerful." I
presume ho Is cheerful in tho same sense in
which a corpse is sometimes said to bo beautiful.
The invariable cheerfulness of prisoners is part
of the professional cant that Jonkins never
tires of.
Mr. Heechomnd the Trim.
Mr. Beechcr is seldom commonplace, and ho
hns just been writing a by no means commonplace
nolo to an impudent person who has been trying
to make money out of Mr Beechor's reputation.
The impudent person has a truss which professes
to euro any rupture that evor was or ever could be,
and fos some time past has been addressing Mr.
Bcecher letters which imply that ho and that
gentlemen have been in correspondence on tho
subject of tho truss, and that Mr. Bcecher emi
nently approves of the Invention. Beecher bore
this allliction for some weeks boro it like a
lamb, and then at length bleatod into dreadful
satire, as the following note, published in yes
terday's Time, abundantly proves. It is ad
dressed to the impudent person in question, and
reads thus:
"Sir: Yon have for several weeks addressed tome
letters implying that we are In correspondonoe, and
that 1 am in sympathy with you in your method of
treating ruptures. Theso letters are then published
by you as advertisements I regard your action
towards me as an Impertinence, and your treatment
of the public as a deliberate swindle.
"If yon will put one of your trusses upon your own
mouth we shall have a test case, for I know of no
other rupture so eminent and disgusting.
"llKNBY WAUII BKKCHKK.
"P. 8. This letter, the only one which I have ever
addressed to you, you are at liberty to publish."
Tho New Pout Olllre.
It was confidently expected that, owing to a
scarcity of funds, the work on the new post
olllco would bo temporarily discontinued. This
is not, however, the case. True, Congress has
not yet appropriated tho money that it was ex
pected to, but tho superintendent gives it to
be understood that, by a very careful expendi
ture of the small fund still available, tho
masonry can be continued for some little while
longer. Tho Mai i.e. granite still continues to
arrive. From present appearances it hardly
looks as though there was going to be any sus
pension at all. The enclosures of tho big fence
are thronged with animated workmen.
The FlihrnongeMi
When "Polonius" says to "Hamlet," "Do you
know me, my lord ?" "Hamlet" repllos, "Excel
lent well; you are a fishmonger." "Not I, my
lord," responds poor "Polonius;" upon which
Hamlet" takes him up by saying, "Then I
would you were so honest a man."
The Rev. J. Hyatt Smith, in an address which
he has just been making at the hall of the Y. M.
A., in favor of the Fishmongers' Association,
scums to have discovered in that body a li-t of
virtues akin to tho one which "Hamlet" thus in
timates the lack of in the imbecile courtier. In
that address he "piled It on" to them so thick,
that their eyes must have been dimmed with
the scales incidental to their profession for them
not to have seen what ho was driving at. He
said the apostles were fishmongers; he went
back to the times of the Philistines, and said
that the fishmongers of that era were held in
such high repute that tho Philistines named
one of their gods the "God of Fish." As
diplomatic buncombe this eulogy was all very
well, tho object being to interest the audience in
the orator's theme. The fishmongers of New
York in fact want to organize an association
here for their mutual improvement similar to tho
one which has been established for several years
in London. They are no despicable part of
New York population. They have about five
million dollurs invested in the business of tho
city, and lust year their sales amounted to ten
millions. Without precisely agreeing with Mr.
Smith that the fishmongers constitute an emi
nently virtuous and honorable profession, from
the mere fact that some of the apostles made
good hauls, it is only fair to concede that they
are a sufficiently influential proportion of the
population to warrant their interests and wishes
being duly considered. They want to have a
Hall and ft Home of their own, and if they can
find a few more champions as whole-souled as
Mr. Smith, it will not be long before they will.
The "De Soto"
is one of tho friendliest and snuggest of English
euting-houses to go to, if you already have
friends there, and merely one of the most
expensive and culinarlly capable if you have no
friends, but only money. It is greatly affected
by actors, artists, the better class of newspaper
people, and theatrical hangers-on. Go in at
almost any time after noon, and you shall hear
the secrets of the coulisse being discussed, and
very great names gossipped about with a free
dom which suggests thut a great man is no more
a great man to his theatrical agent or his puff
writer than he is to his valet. The establish
ment plumes itself on the amber lueidity
of its Bass' Bitter and the mellow mildness of its
" 'arf-and-'orf." It aims at cooking chops and
steaks with a perfection unattainable by the
cusinier of any other establishment; and if, by
any accident, your steak is underdone, it is more
than made up for by the thoroughness with
which you are done brown in the bill.
Demand lor Small Iloonea.
There Is a great demand hero for small houses
houses something like those with which Phila
delphia abounds, where ft poor man can feel
that the home for himself and family Is not
limited to two rooms. There are no such fire
side paradises here; no prospect even of ob
taining them. The utmost hope that is held out
is a sort of refined tenement-house, in which
each floor shall accommodate one family. The
tenement-house of tbe future Is not to be de-
I splsed, but it Is not a pleasant substitute for the
neat brlck-and-mortar castles of Philadelphia.
Half a loaf, to be sure, Is bettor than no bread,
but fill I prefer the whole loaf. In Philadel
phia that City of Homes the poor get it so far
as distinct and separate firesides are concerned.
Hero ono might almost say they are glad if they
can collect enough sticks to build one common
flarso. Axi Baba.

Tho City ABumrau,
' At thh Amateur's DnAwiNn Room, in Seven
teenth street, above Chesnut, ft f oshiontiblo audi
ence was in attendance last cvoning to witness
the performance of Scribe's comedy, llalaille, de
l)amen, a very sprightly and pleasant piece that
achieved considerable popularity here some
years sro, when it was performed at the Arch
Street Theatre under tho title of The Checkmate.
It is in such plays as this that most French
actors find themselves completely at homo, and
Hatailie de l)ame., as represented last evening,
with M. and Madame Moreau, M. Rousseau,
M. Genot, and Mad'llo Maurlco In the leading
parts, is a most trioaslng entertainment. Tbe
performance concluded with a song by Madame
Gncrrettl, from Maillard's comic opera, 1
jyragon de Villars, a fantosle for violoncello by
M. Cesar Alard, and ft comic sons by M.
Julgnet.
This evening Thibont's comedy 1 Supplier
d'un Homme will be performed. This plcco was

These arc fine parts, and admirably suited for
the display of Mr. Mayo s talents to tho best ad
vantage, as an actor oi tno uesi siyio ot, melo

high rank, and we anticipate from mm this
evening better personations of "Don Ciesar" and
"Belphegor" than have been given In this city
by any ono for a long tlmo past. Indeed, there
Is no actor on tho American, stngo that we can
call to mina. unless it tic .ir. r.. l.. Davenport.
who Is likely to surpass Mr. Mayo in theso parts,
and we Lope that there will be such an attend

At tiie Walnut Mr. Harry Watklns will
have a farewell benefit this evening, when ho
will produce his own adaptation of Mrs. South
worth's novel. The Hidden Hand. The perform
ance will conclude with the comedietta entitled
To Oblige Benson. Mr. Watklns Is an excellent
actor in a certain line, and he ought to have a
full house on this occasion.
There will be a matinee to-morrow, when Mr.

Mr. John 8. Clause has made a great hit in
London, at the Strand Theatre, as "Dr. Pang-
loss," IvThe Heir at Law, which is thus spoken
oi oy mo Awenvcum:
"To the lontf list or those who have played it since
first It was performed by Kawcett must be added
Mr. J. 8. Clarke, who presents it in a very uncon
ventional and humorous fashion. Mr. Clarke has
facial expression and command of grimace
such as few actors possess, and the airs of
stolid assurance and self-contentment he Is able
to assume are Inimitable. 'Dr. Pangloss' is ft part
thoroughly suited to him. It Is ditncult to Imagine
anything more admirable than the assumption by the
sage, at bis pupil's command, of an appearance of
extreme mirtnruiness and delight, or the inflexible
gravity with which he receives the rebuke of 'Henry
jaoreiona.'"
The rimes says:
"The purpose of the revival is obviously to furnish
Mr. John 8. Clarke, the American comedian, with a
new part of strongly-marked character. lie plays
'Dr. Pangloss ' and takes a view of that model tutor
whicu is perfectly consistent wun tno text, ana
which atfords occasion fnr the display of the broad-
put humor. On one occasion is he thoroughly eravt
and that is when he is compelled by 'Dick Dowlas'
to dance in the streets, and he sees In that dance
the ruin of his pnmpects. The legs partially move,
but the face is sao."

11 KAlHjij a rters Minni.a District, Fort Sut.i.v,
D. T., cb.80, 1870. Hon. Kli 8. Parker, Commis
sioner ot Indian Airalrs Sir: I d4ire to lay boforo
you some information concerning the condition and
win lies of the Sioux at the Cbryenno and Grand
river agencies, In accordance with the requast or
the principal chiefs, who from time to time cone to
me with their uomnlntnts and hope. It Is unities
for me to tell these Indians that they ought to go to
their agents.
Thev know I am the ranklnir military officer here.
and they insist that I must write to thnir Great
Father aa to the condition and conduct of the Sioux
at the two airencles ieferred to. I see no reason
to comnlaln excepting that the young mnn have
killed a few heaf catt.e belonging to the contractor.
and all the friendly Sioux persist In making raids on
the Kees and Gros Ventres. As to their complaints,
they all arise from their understanding or the treaty
at Fort Rice.
As you are aware, an Indian never forgets anything
that Is promised him, nor can he undoMta-nd why
airoumstances should interfere with the fulfilment
of the promises. Now it Is true that tho Peace Com
mission at Fort Rice pictured to the Indians a pretty
iitmral view of their Improved condition under the
treaty, and the Indians come to me and say. Where
are those houses yon were going to build ns 7 Where
are the cows, the sheep, the pigs, etc, ? lint, above
all, where are-the guns and ummunltion we were to
nave received 7
n hnninntinar of corn also recommended to them.
and which wo promised to assist them in, has, as
you are aware, as yet made little progress. All the
Indians whom we are accustomed to call friendly
are very anxious to farm. Last year, owing to the
want of laiMirers and oxen, very little was done, aud
while upon this subject I would recommend that a
a; ron i ellort be luaao this spring to get as much
land broken as possible to give the Indians a start
in planting, and whilst recommending I would rc-
SDCCIIllllV auvise mat n noerai niiiipiy ui uau
rides and ammunition be furnished the friendly Iu
dlaiis this summer.
I havo no fear nor ony belief that, under any rev
soiiatilo treatment, these Indians would ever use
their guns against tho whites. Since the council at
Fort Rice the friendly Indians have used all me ins
thev could to Induce the hostile Hlonx to come in
and bury the hatchet. Many of them have given
awnv alTthclr horses and goods to the hostiles In
trrtuii to conciliate them, and now the friendly
chiels tell me they have given the mat
ter un: that they cn do nothing with
their wild rcliilloiiH: and that all
they dcfirc is to keep their bands together to learn
to farm and 'o keep awav from the hostile Sioux
entirely. To ciiconrago"tlies friendly Sioux in
evei-v imssible wuv is of course very important.
Thev unioui.t to eight orten thousand suits; and If
hohlile the Slonx must finally be put down by
force of Minis, which appears liievltale. The value
or keeping the friendly ones itiiut caunot bo over
estimated. Of course the prospect of a crop the tlrst year,
npou soil ground, is not ffoort, but if twenty or thirty
t. mips ennld lie employed to break the land this
spring, the I mlinns would raise some coin, aud the
prospect for the next year would greatly encourage
them. I am, very rcspeciiuny.
Your obedient servant,

Mr. Holman Inquired or tbe chairman or the Com
mittee on I'upiic Lands what the proviso waBV
Mr. Julian explained that in the closing hours or
the last session this restrictive clause, Thut the land
grunted should only be sold to actual settlers In lots
or 160 sorts, and at not more than fi-M an acre, had
been attached to the mil inadvertently. Tiie lanci
grant had not lapsed, and the company had a right
to tha land wituoul restrictions.
Mr. HoJman Had not the ten years within which
the first sacUon of the road was to bo completed
elunstMi at the time of tbe passage or tne act?
Mr. Julian No. sir: I understand not. The whole
obiectof this bill is to remove a restriction hastily
and inadvertently put ou the bill. The committee
has examined the question, und found that Congress
ht.'i no right to attach thai rcBtricliou.
Mr. Fai nsworth Tbeu what harm does It do 7

Mr. Lawrence If there is any doubt about it Is it
no' our policy to rctolve that doubt lu favor of the
setMciM? ... .
Mr. .lulian-Tliereisnodoubt about It. Wohavect
ainit ed the question, and we regard It as clear that
our power to attack the restriction did not exist.
